+One possible cause for this is that you expected to have imported a
+constant to your name space with B<use> or B<import> while no such
+importing took place, it may for example be that your operating system
+does not support that particular constant. Hopefully you did use an
+explicit import list for the constants you expect to see, please see
+L<perlfunc/use> and L<perlfunc/import>. While an explicit import list
+would probably have caught this error earlier it naturally does not
+remedy the fact that your operating system still does not support that
+constant. Maybe you have a typo in the constants of the symbol import
+list of B<use> or B<import> or in the constant name at the line where
+this error was triggered?
